[QUOTE="wide'05, post: 157725, member: 3431"] To Farmstar's original post. Benefits of picking an older C6 and doing a wide body, can be inexpensive to buy, easy to do(rear). Could buy aZ06 or GS but there is still something to be said about doing yourself and being a bit unique. I did only the rear as I felt that is where u get the biggest bang for the buck as well, the front is much more difficult. I had surgery on my left hand and had it all taped up so while home, and not being able to sit for more than about 14 minutes, decided to play modifier. With the help of youtube and being extremely cautious, it took 1.5 hours to do the left rear and 50 minutes to do the right. Again, this was with 1.5 hands. I will absolutely admit that I used factory parts and did not even attempt after market. The fit was perfect with lines and seams as good as factory. Stayed with factory sizing tire and wheel on the front but upped the rear to 19 x 12.5 and 345 michelin. As has been mentioned previously, there are many options when it comes to types of wheels if u want factory sizing but I went with 12.5 wide as I liked the way they filed the well. Also lowered the car as far as could without cutting blocks. I did put on a 14" BBK but as far as street braking did not notice much difference from the Z51 factory. Tracking may be a different animal all together. Good luck. Have fun. Garth [/QUOTE]
